I tested Virbac MOVOFLEX Advanced Soft Chews as a daily hip and joint aid for large dogs. I liked the simple one-chew-a-day plan and the soft chicken taste. The formula is made to support joint health, bone health, and easy movement. After looking at the full formula and how it fits daily dog care, here is my honest take.
Product Review: Virbac Advanced Soft Chews Hip and Joint Support Supplement for Large Dogs
The Virbac MOVOFLEX Advanced Soft Chews are made for dogs that need daily joint support. The large-dog size is for dogs over 80 pounds. Each chew is made to give daily support without a loading dose.
I found the daily plan easy to follow. One soft chew is the normal daily amount. That makes this much easier to add to a busy dog care routine than a plan with many doses.
The chew has a chicken flavor. This matters to me because a joint supplement is not much use if a dog will not eat it. The soft form also makes it easy to give with the normal daily meal.
The formula has seven key parts. These include eggshell membrane, astaxanthin, boswellic acid, vitamin D3, two forms of hyaluronic acid, and krill. Each part has a role in joint or bone support.
I also like that the product is made in the USA. Virbac says the product uses both US and global ingredients. That gives me a clear point to check when I shop for dog care items.
The large size comes in a 6-gram chew. The 120-count option can cover about four months when one chew is given each day. That makes the larger pack handy for long-term daily use.
One thing I would keep in mind is the price. A daily dog supplement can add up over time. I would compare the cost per chew before making it part of my dog’s long-term care plan.
I would also speak with my vet before adding it to a dog’s diet. This is even more important if the dog has a known joint issue, takes other products, or has a health concern.

Cons
